Holy Sh*t!!! Those are some mad skills my man! My only suggestion would have been to give it a more human face witha nose and a mouth but that still a awesome piece of work!

Truly awesome work! It would seem like a natural fit for fire red/yellow color scheme although looks great already.

Are you an engineer?! Or a sculptor? Maybe a doctor?!
'Cause that's TIGHT! ;D
All I can think of to add might be some decorative pieces here and there.....as long as it doesn't mess with the AWESOME engineering. Damn. For color? I dunno....I'm too blown away to think about that right now.
No, wait.....metallic combo. Anything metallic.

Glad you like it:) I'll post more pics soon, including some of the details like the missile pods, verniers and some size comparisons with some of my SOCs/Gundam/etc (which what I took inspirations from) all in all the materials probably didn't cost more than $50, mostly on styrene, PVC and glue. but it took a while to build, maybe about 3-weeks total . and since I was just making things up as I go along, I had to keep redoing some stuff over again. no, I'm not an engineer:) but I do consider myself an artist. The ball joints I got from Hobbylink Japan, they come in packs of different sizes. here's a link to one: www.hlj.com/product/YLS09301I originally sculpted a much more humanoid head at first, but it looked a bit too femenine. I'll post pics of it as well later again, thanks for the kind words:) I'm already planning on doing another one. maybe a fully transformable one next time. |

That robot certainly has it's own identity! Can't wait to see the rest of the details! Great work man! |

aside from the toy itself, the robot design is very cool and better than some popular robots. How many man-hours did it take to build this thing?
